While it can be fun to step into their shoes for just a few hours and imagine how cool it is to have their job, there are some jobs out there that are downright spooky.

Like to dabble in blood? Try your hand as a hemodialysis technician. Have an eerie obsession for human anatomy? Roll up your sleeves for this job. You’ll help a variety of souls by working closely with their blood. The squeamish need not apply.

Picturing an axe in hand? Think again. This type of hacker is the kind that specializes in software engineering. In fact, companies like Facebook have hacking sessions within their engineering department that focus on the site’s design and development.

If you go mad over slicing and dicing anything in sight, then you might want to arm yourself with a sharp knife and take on the role of a meat cutter. These employees chop up the meat of dead animals for your dining pleasure. While they have a job to do, they personally don’t harm any animals. RIP.

In a scary economy, there’s nothing more terrifying than this – the mystery man who comes knocking on your door for your money. A good head on your shoulders will keep him away. Just don’t lose your head.
